LETTERS FROM THE CABALA. 33 



parliament men, which is &quot; Cardo rerum.&quot; For let me tell 

 your majesty, that that part of the chancellor s place which 

 is to judge in equity, between party and party, that same 

 &quot; Regnum judiciale&quot; (which since my father s time is but 

 too much enlarged) concerneth your majesty least, more 

 than the acquitting your conscience for justice- But it is 

 the other parts of a moderator, amongst your council, of 

 an overseer over your judges, of a planter of fit justices, 

 and governors in the country, that importeth your affairs 

 in these times most. 



I will add also, that I hope by my care, the inventive 

 part of your council will be strengthened, who now com 

 monly, do exercise rather their judgments, than their 

 inventions: and the inventive part cometh from projectors, 

 and private men, which cannot be so well ; in which kind 

 my lord of Salisbury had a good method, if his ends had 

 been upright. 



To conclude, if I were the man I would be, I should 

 hope, that as your majesty hath of late won hearts by de 

 pressing ; you should in this leese no hearts by advancing. 

 For I see your people can better skill of &quot; Concretum&quot; than 

 &quot; Abstractum, and that the waves of their affections flow 

 rather after persons than things. So that acts of this nature 

 (if this were one) do more good than twenty bills of grace. 



If God call my lord, the warrants and commissions 

 which are requisite for the taking the seal, and for the 

 working with it, and for the reviving of warrants under his 

 hand, which die with him, and the like, shall be in readiness. 

 And in this time presseth more, because it is the end of a 

 term, and almost the beginning of the circuits : so that the 

 seal cannot stand still. But this may be done, as hereto 

 fore, by commission, till your majesty hath resolved of an 

 officer. God ever preserve your majesty. 



Febr. 12. Your Majesty s most humble subject, 

 1615. and bounden servant.
